Devin's Appt and Day 2

Devin went to a follow up appointment with his pediatric ophthalmologist. Great news! She doesn't believe that there is anything to be concerned about. A couple months back, his left eye would roll up and to the left while his right eye would stay straight. As the months went on, we no longer observed this happening. Thank goodness! He is so young that at this point, his eye is still growing and becoming stronger, so since he passed all his tests with flying colors for the third time in a row and the eye rolling seems to have stopped completely, we are in the clear! We will have another appointment next summer just to make sure everything is still OK!

Ok, so I have to admit, I am a failure once again. I fasted for 43.5 hours, not too bad, but what happened was...I was cooking dinner for the rest of the fam and I accidentally tasted the rice to check to see if it was done. Creature of habit, I guess. Anyway, once I tasted the rice, I just had an overwhelming need to eat dinner. Same as the last fast, this breakdown was not at all due to hunger, but to the craving I had. In my defense, it is really hard to not crave food when you have to cook three meals a day! I guess I have no will power, or I shouldn't totally beat myself up about it, I did fast for almost two whole days. It sure would make it much easier if I could do it with someone. Oh well, I'll try again in a few months and hopefully I won't surrender to the craving (although this time it was more of an accident). Before the accident, I had no hunger and really, do desire for any one food in particular. Even though I prepared three meals a day, plus snacks, I wasn't as tempted as I though I would be. It is hard though when the kids don't finish their meals to not eat their leftovers...such a waste! The birds ate great these past two days! I am not too disappointed in myself. I did learn that each time I do fast, the easier it is to get past the first day and this second day wasn't even that bad. I probably could have done it this time around...maybe next time.
